Very few folks in the industry want to hire a PhD because they are a) expensive b) often know-it-alls with little practical experience churning out boilerplate code which is the majority of positions.

Now, you can hate on my comment without realizing that I respect the work and knowledge represented by such an achievement, but this is just real-talk from 15 years in the trenches. I have no college degree and am probably more marketable simply due to my wide experience in various industries and projects. That is sad but true and maybe indicative of the funked up system we inhabit.
